I'm using what gentoo calls dosemu-1.4.1_pre20091009 . And all other programs seem to work, but the one that needs to invoke dos4g (which is the main program, by the way) does not. Right now this machine is working with a 32-bits 1.4.0.0 version of dosemu, but the 32 bits version has  2 Gb max filesize which we will meet soon and it's gone with the 64 bits version. I tried the 64-bits 1.4.0.0 version but it seems to have problems with file locking.

what version of dosemu?  do other dos programs work ok?  I haven't tried dos4g myself, maybe others on here can comment if it works for them.

Everything worked fine, so I tried to put it in our production server, running a 64-bits fedora 10. It didn't work. Dosemu hangs when it tries to execute dos4g.exe (it seems that it's a memory extender). Top shows  a processor maxing out on dosemu.

And that's the thing, dosemu works as it should when I run it through strace, but  hangs when it should execute dos4g if I run it "normally". The uids/gids are the same, I've compared the memory maps and they are exactly the same and I don't know what else to compare. Anyone has any idea of why it is doing this, and how to make it work without strace? I know that the obvious thing would be installing the CentOS that's proved to work, but this server is on the other side of the country and I don't have physical access to it. Any ideas are welcomed.
